An interesting and certain thing. In 1690, the chapel served as a place for the bodies of Conversano citizens affected by the plague epidemic. This disease, called the Black Death, has claimed over 200 million victims to date!

The chapel of Santa Caterina is a national monument of Italy, located at the entrance to Conversano - an Apulian city of ancient origin. There are basically two concepts regarding the time of construction and the person of Saint Catherine. Some historians support the thesis that it was created around the mid-11th century and is dedicated to the Christian martyr Catherine of Alexandria - a saint of the Catholic and Orthodox Church, whose cult spread to Puglia at that time. Other historians support the thesis that the chapel was built by Count Giulio Antonio Acquaviva in the mid-15th century, and the building itself was an act of tribute and affection for his wife, Caterina Orsini Del Balzo. The dating of the building, consistent with these concepts, places its construction in different historical times, 4 centuries, 400 years apart!
